Some site members are reporting that they aren't getting all the expected emails they were expecting after opting into notifications on their account.
If you are missing some emails, it is possible that your email provider is blocking them on the receiving end.
This sometimes shows up as redirecting email to your spam folder, but in some cases your email providor is outright rejecting the messages before they can reach your inbox or spam folder. (Microsoft Outlook, Hotmail, and Live.com are particularly picky about this)
Check first to see if it's in your spam folder, and if it is, mark the sender as not-spam.
If you are using Hotmail or Windows live, we recommend that you add our domain to a safe-senders list.
Setting this up will ensure that "Windows Live" / "Hotmail" don't block any emails that come from us.
You can do this within your "Windows Live" or "Hotmail" account, by following the instructions below:
- Log in to your Microsoft "Windows Live" or "Hotmail" account.
- Select "Options" then "More Options..." from the toolbar.
- Follow the "Safe and blocked senders" link under "Preventing junk emails".
- Click "Safe Senders".
- Type "thefreshloaf.com" to mark all of our messages to you as safe.
- Click "Add to list >>."
This should ensure all emails from us arrive safely in your "Windows Live" or "Hotmail" inbox.
